Malta, La Valletta

St. Johns Co-Cathedral was built by the Knights of Malta between 1573 and 1578.
The interior, in sharp contrast with the severe exterior of the facade, is extremely ornate and decorated in the height of the Baroque period. Impressive are also the marble tombstones in the nave in which were buried important knights and decorated with the coats of arms of the knight.
